Can umati lead us out of the "interface jungle"?

Under the umati (universal machine technology interface) brand, a working group of the glass technology forum of the VDMA is advancing the development, dissemination, and use of open machine interface standards. Dr. Klaus Mühlhans explains in an interview what this involves.

Industry 4.0 is more than production optimization

In their search for new digital sales channels, many innovative companies in the window industry have started to set up webshops such as A+W iQuote for mobile online ordering. This new selling mode means maximum flexibility, mobility and time savings for the customer.

Is your flat glass company ready for the future?
